None of my own work is to be used or copied in the production of any webpage for the internet or an intranet. I retain all copyright on the content of the Hot Potato quizzes. ALL site content, unless otherwise indicated is © of Dr W. P. Brown. The only four pages free of copyright restriction are the 3 mini-site maps for KS3 science, GCSE science-chemistry, Advanced level chemistry and the GCSE chemistry notes absolute URL link page. You may copy and edit these four pages to suit your own purpose in linking to specific pages on my site BUT nothing else! I could produce more copyright free link pages of absolute URL's if there seemed to be a demand?

I have no objection to 'LINKS ONLY' to my web pages being incorporated into MOODLE, BUT:

I DO NOT PERMIT ANY EDITING OF THE PAGES WHATSOEVER - they can be linked to via a 'moodle browser' system BUT NOT ALTERED IN ANYWAY whether they me revision-information notes or Hot potato Quizzes.

i.e. my web pages must NOT be edited or copied at all into any system, but merely linked to directly to the 'live' site at www.docbrown.info/ and I've spoken to schools who have operated in this way without any infringement of my intellectual copyrights.

Teachers/schools have clearly demonstrated to me that my website notes pages or Hot Potato Quizzes etc. can be run below a 'moodle browser' which allows the clear flow of web pages for teaching and learning purposes without the slightest need for editing my pages and zero infringement of my intellectual copyrights.

i.e. the WEB PAGES RUN EXACTLY AS ON the www.docbrown.info/ SITE including the counters which help me monitor how the web pages are used, links to other relevant parts of the site, adverts which pay for the site etc. etc.

i.e. this retains my intellectual copyrights and the origin and author clearly indicated-acknowledged and the work is not passed off as somebody else's work of the school or college etc.,

and 3. also applies to any printed out material.

I have already had to contact several schools on breach of copyright issues.
